Run race ((street-O)) 30:53 [4] * 6.8 km (4:32 / km) +125m 4:10 / km
spiked:18/18c
Street-O at Jells Park, a venue I haven't been to for about a decade - not sure how much of this is quirks of the fixture and being away/injured at the wrong times, and how much is it being in the Monday night series instead of the Wednesday one some years. I was expecting some hill-climbing as it gets very steep on the slope climbing up to the Police Academy, but the course turned out not to go there - which may as well given how badly I was running the much more modest hills that did exist.
Not sure where the course-setter got the estimate of 8.5k from. Got the route choice right but again sluggish or worse despite the easy week so far - in the end a fairly similar result to the last couple of weeks, although the result looks better because I got the route choice right and Bruce wasn't there.
Quite a bit of excitement at work today - there's always a bit of excitement when a significant record is 'on' and the prospect of a rare 50-degree day in Australia (there have only been four in 100 years) was definitely enough to get us going. In the end the highest we got was 49.0 at Roebourne, but tomorrow looks at least as hot. (It would have been splendidly ironic if the Australian record had fallen on the day that a certain national newspaper with an interest in climate issues ran a full-page spread on how cool summer has been).
